First Sunday of Lent

February 21 and 22, 2026

As we begin our Lenten journey, the readings lead us into the desert with Christ, reminding us that prayer, trust in God, and faithfulness sustain us in times of trial. The music this Sunday invites us into a spirit of reflection and dependence on the Lord as we begin these forty days of renewal.

Through our singing, we join Christ in this journey of preparation and conversion. Let our shared voices become a prayer for strength and perseverance throughout Lent.
